Nah. It's okay. I'm just feeling a little alone today. I wan't my family to come along, to be with me, but I don't think I get that, and that makes me wish that I could go with them, but, yeah... It just doesn't work that way. You don't unlearn the truth.

I don't know, once I was free of the trauma (drama) about the idea that the church isn't what it purported to be, I had no problem attending with my (now ex-)wife and kids. None at all. I liked the people in the ward, loved that they were kind to my kids and genuinely seemed to be fun (in their own, special Mormon way). I realized all of the "omg, this is nuts" shit was in my own head, and I was the only one keeping from being with my family during church.

So sorry. I used to sing them too, as s child, to comfort be when I was being abused in the church by our LDS neighbor and later a bishop. The cognitive dissonance and pain are real. We are here for you. Sending hugs and hope you can teach your children beautiful new lullabyes and folk music that doesn’t brainwash them towards a corrupt corporation!

Laughed out loud, then read the first comment. It is funny and sad and real and human all at once.

Really, though... it is way too easy to judge anyone still in knowing the truth. There is a lot of criticism at those still in and still asleep! Every story is so different. When has anything quite like this happened in history, where a group of people have to face a painful truth and lose their tribe as a consequence?

NeoMormonism was a term I heard the first time about ten years ago, and I thought then, what the heck??

The term post Mormon (last year) seemed like a nightmare oxymoron. How can you ever be post truth? /s

New Order Mormon, its those who no longer believe but stay for family, social groups or as a way to stay religious. As a NOM myself this made me laugh! But being a NOM is not easy, the vast majority of them only attend to keep the peace at home.
